Stutors is a team of professional Stanford-educated tutors and teachers providing local students with tutoring, enrichment, and test preparation since 2004. One of the things that sets us apart from other tutoring organizations is that we’ve invested time to build strong educational programs, and we have the proper structures in place to ensure quality teaching and learning. All of our instructors are hired, trained, and supported as employees within the company. Tutors always have the teaching tools they need. And we are very respectful of our instructors work schedules. Everyone is paid for all of the time they work including training, preparation, and travel time. Above all - the work is rewarding. We've dramatically altered how some of our students think about themselves, and permanently improved the trajectory of their lives.

Other 2013-14 REU Possibilities from Every SoE Department

Amazing research goes on within Stanford’s School of Engineering and you can be a part of it. Through the REU program, undergraduates have a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge research guided by Stanford faculty. Professors are excited to work with bright, enthusiastic undergraduates. If you are interested, look below to learn more:

Who Should Apply for REU?

If you are a Stanford undergraduate interested in engineering research, you should consider applying. Each engineering department has its own requirements for applicants; visit the links in the How to Apply section for more information.

How to Apply

The application process is department-specific, so pick one (or several!) departments that interest you and visit the department's website to learn more. Most departments open up applications for summer research in mid-winter or early spring quarter. Not all majors are listed below. If you want to work with one of your professors in an area not listed, talk to them directly about opportunities.

Here are the departments that have offered REU in the past. Some provide a webpage and application, in others a person within the department to contact about possible research opportunities:

FAQ

I've never had any research experience before. Is the REU program really a possibility?Everyone starting research has that question, so do not be deterred. Around 200 students are part of the program each summer. If you are eager and ready to learn you will almost certainly succeed. Be persistent.

I missed the deadline for applying to my department's summer research program. Can I still get involved in research?Try contacting a particular professor in the department that you would like to work with, and ask if he or she still has openings for undergraduates. Realize, however, that the number of positions in limited.

What is the stipend?For the most part, a summer research program will provide a full-time stipend of up to $6000 for the 10-week summer session.
